Guess you've never been down a dark road at night with an oncoming car with blue HIDs high beaming you in the lane next to you.

Many times

And I assume you can see right through that?

I call bs.

You can't be serious...... Blinding people making them turn away because of painful lights?! LOL I have been oncoming towards cars trucks bikes with the worst lights, highbeams, hid's in hanogen housings, never once did I ever become blinded or in pain... Look ahead where you want to go dont look into the lights duh...

wow. seriously. so this is what is in the mind of people who ride around with their high beams all the time. i was wondering what kind of special thoughts they had.
not everyone was special enough to stare at the sun as a child and become immune to bright lights in contrast to regular lighting conditions. and yes, i do look where i am going, but also tend to scan whats around me to get an idea of what is going on and who is doing what. if you are blinding me, i wont notice or care if you have a turn signal on and will let you bounce happily off my car.

just keep doing what you do. good luck with that.

Run with hi beams on and loud pipes.... Take note though the rest of the world does fine with no daytime running lights in their bikes.

And of course all hi-viz gear with a vest just for that extra touch right. Oh, and your bike is yellow or bright green too right?
